I have some golden (diamond, & perfect) reserves but I'm figuring out who to leave in & who to leave out for the end of the season for now.
What a dreadful day. I don't know if the so-so performance or the other elements of this terrible Wednesday came first. Probably was some kind of package deal, lol.

This season is turning into the most unpredictable of weeks I've had yet. I brought in four lefties to the switch-hitting arrangement and the offense went silent even though they are some of the best hitters in my system. So I'm not going to rush back to almost all switch-hitters but perhaps all those neutral or favorable match-ups make up for the raw talent gap at times. I can't tell because it's not something I saw coming...
As today's games wind down we're clinging to 1st place and anything can happen.
